The SIG Sauer CANYON HD 10x42 Binoculars in Flat Dark Earth, part number SOZC0001, are the most affordable full-size binocular SIG SAUER makes, giving 10x magnification on 42mm objectives over a wide 6-degree field of view (approximately 105 m at 1,000 m) at 662 g (1.46 lbs) — light enough for woodland stalking and general deer watching all day.
The lens system is LENSARMOR™ and SPECTRACOAT™ — SpectraCoat anti-reflection coatings behind scratch-resistant LensArmor outer surfaces — working through Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms. Twist-up eye cups give 16mm of eye relief, the non-locking dioptre ring offers +/- 4 of adjustment and interpupillary distance spans 58mm to 73mm. The thermoplastic body is IPX-7 rated and measures approximately 152 x 52 x 130 mm (5.98 x 2.05 x 5.10 in), and a shoulder harness strap and foam carrying case are supplied.
How It Compares
The CANYON HD 10x42 is the most affordable full-size binocular SIG SAUER makes and among the lightest of the non-stabilised 42mm models at 662 g. It uses a thermoplastic body rather than the magnesium of the ZULU4 HD 10x42 or the metal chassis of the ZULU8 HDX 10x42, and its coating package is simpler — LensArmor and SpectraCoat, without the LenShield hydrophobic layer. Field of view matches the ZULU4 HD at 6 degrees and eye relief at 16mm. It ships with a shoulder harness strap rather than a neck strap, which is the right choice for a binocular carried all day. The CANYON HD 12x50 is the larger sibling.
Ideal For
- A first stalking or general-purpose binocular where budget is the deciding factor
- Woodland stalking and deer watching on a wide 6-degree field
- Rough shooting and general observation where the binocular takes knocks
- Anyone who wants a proper harness strap rather than a neck strap included in the box

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I give up against the ZULU4 HD 10x42?A magnesium chassis and the HDX lens system with its LenShield hydrophobic coating. Field of view and eye relief are the same. The ZULU4 HD 10x42 also focuses much closer, to 1.8 m.
Is a harness strap better than a neck strap?For a binocular carried all day, yes — it puts the weight on your shoulders rather than your neck and stops the binocular swinging when you walk. It is supplied in the box.
Is it waterproof?It is IPX-7 rated.
Does it have image stabilisation?No. For stabilised binoculars, see the ZULU6 HDX line.
What is the difference from the 12x50?The CANYON HD 12x50 has larger objectives and more reach on a narrower 5-degree field, with 15mm of eye relief and around 136 g more weight.
Where can I see the rest of the range?The full SIG Sauer line-up sits in our binoculars collection.
